God looked around His garden and found an empty space
Then He looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest
God's Garden must be beautiful for He only takes the best.
Love you Chris and May You Rest In Eternal Peace.
Prayers to all your family and friends.
